Request Selection in KPI Administration (Siebel Analytics Request Column)When a user chooses a report, a pick applet appears. This applet is derived from a virtual business component (VBC). The VBC calls a business service, which connects to the Analytics server and then passes certain parameters such as login, password, root catalog path, and type (Analytics data loader). The user logged into the Analytics server can then browse the catalog from the root path provided for that user (all responsibilities and visibility rights for that user are enforced at the Analytics server for the user.) NOTE: The root path for Web catalog administration is configurable using Siebel Tools. For more information, see Using Siebel Tools.

The MDL business service passes certain parameters to the Siebel Analytics Server, including the administrator ID and password from the Analytics server configuration, the KPI ID, catalog path, and server ID. The following MDL business service processes occur:
